802.11n

One thing I love about Apple, when they choose to enter a product space their attitude is — “Be the innovator or don’t”. The iPhone is an example of this attitude. Now it looks like they’re planning to put not only an FM receiver but also an FM transmitter into the iPhone. That is apart from what looks like a plan to also put in support for 802.11n wireless communication into the iPhone.

Getting an FM receiver is good for news, music stuff but an FM transmitter is great for some pretty cool usage scenarios.

For example, now you can depend more on your iPhone as a central storage of your music files. Want to listen to them on your high end car stereo? No problem, just turn on that FM transmitter and listen to the music on the car stereo just like you’d listen to other FM stations. Do you have one of those headsets equipped with an FM receiver? Now you can also listen to your own music in your iPhone.

Do you have a hi-speed wireless N lan at home? Now you can stream those music over the LAN (I hope).
